Ever since i was a kid i never did fit in While all the other fish were learning how to swim I was dying To be a member of the tribe And when i went to school my head was in a cloud The teacher said, "you will never be allowed, So don't try To be a member of the tribe" Now what can a square man do To fit in a big round world? If i am a hand and life is a glove I stick right out like a big sore thumb Why don't you come over to see me sometime I do impersonations from saturday night live I'm dying To be a member of the tribe Now what can a square man do To fit in a big round world? Life might be a parade for some, But i stick out like a big bass drum I eat big macs and i watch mtv I've been a k mart shopper since 1983 Cause i'm trying To be a member of the tribe
